I personally feel no one should use MSE. I used it for several months and was very disappointed with it. It simply doesn't do an adequate job of protecting from viruses. Except for when it first came out, it consistently ranks amongst lowest in professional antivirus program tests. Many geeks like it because it has a small footprint and a low profile but that is of little value if it will let something through. Most also use a good antimalware program, such as Malwarebytes Antimalware to compensate for MSE's weaknesses but one should never depend on a secondary program to be a first line of defense (although MBAM is an excellent second line of defense). That's like justifying driving with bald tires because you have a good spare.

For a business with 800 users, you need to bite the bullet and shell out the shekels for a good enterprise antivirus program or suite. Most, if not all, free AVs are for personal use anyways. Keep in mind that the cost of a good AV program or suite will be tax deductible. I'm not very familiar with enterprise AVs other than Symantec Endpoint and McAfee and do not recommend either one of them.

It would be difficult to make meaningful suggestions as the specific needs of your organization are of great importance. We of course know nothing of this. You need to research what is available and evaluate this taking into account your specific situation. If there is no one in your organization experienced in such matters you would do well to seek the services of an experienced consultant. The consequences of getting this wrong are too great.

This is the best advice you will probably get on this matter. MSE is not made for the corporate environment. Three are so many to choose from for the corporate environment and the one you choose will greatly depend on your setup.

Using Microsoft Security Essentials in a company

I had asked if an IT company could install Microsoft Security Essentials and then charge for it. Not charge for the labor but charge $159 for the use of it for one year with a renewing...

Microsoft Security EssentialsIntroduction
Microsoft created Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) to address a very simple problem: Too many PCs today are unprotected with either out-of-date anti-malware products or no anti-malware product at all.
